Châtelet Ceramic Tile brings back to life a style that originated in the 1900s in the beautiful city of Paris. We have decided to add more pizazz to a timeless classic by introducing a variety of colors and finishes.


Beveled tile has been predominant in the Paris metro system for over a century. The now-famous beveled white tiles were chosen for their effective reflection of ambient light that is why to this day they are still decorating its long-stretched walls.

Please Note: Customer is responsible for final quantity ordered.

  • Final quantities should be verified before ordering.
  • Industry standard recommends adding 5–10% additional tile to account for cuts, waste, layout adjustments, pattern direction, and future repairs.
  • Review measurements, layout, and tile quantities with an expert installer before placing a final order.
  • Tile quantities may vary depending on grout joint width, installation pattern, cuts, and layout direction.

Care and Considerations

  • Clean with a mild, non-acidic cleanser and damp cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or acid-based cleaners.
  • Colors may appear differently on computer screens. Ordering a sample is strongly recommended before final selection.
  • Handmade subway tiles may vary slightly from piece to piece and from shipment to shipment.
  • Additional tiles ordered later may not match the original order exactly.
  • Certain matte and specialty glazes are acid-sensitive and may discolor if exposed to acid-based cleaners.

Installation

  • Dry lay and blend tiles before installation to balance color, shade, and handmade variation.
  • Confirm layout direction before installation, especially for running bond, stacked, herringbone, border, or accent layouts.
